The Last FrostWizard

Preparations

CHAPTER XI: Preparations

Joel's POV

What I just saw was awesome but I can't forget the fact that we are stronger and now we are the ones chosen for the Prophecy.

It will be hard to convince everyone but they will come to their senses an accept it.

"Hey guys I know it's something hard to digest what Naomie and Dex just did but right now, that ain't a problem anymore. What I'm about to tell you guys is the real deal, the nightmare of any WI (Wizard Institute) and applied wizard, The Great Prophecy" I said as all of them turned from an astonished look to a scared, perturbed look.

"Joel are you freaking crazy?!" Dex said almost scared.

"Yes, I'm freaking crazy but I'm being dead serious" I said with a serious face.

"No one is leaving this place" Dex said.

"You are not our freaking leader and you are not part of this prophecy anymore so you can stay" I said firmly for him to know who rules here.

"You are not the leader here so we can simply not follow you" Dex said in a mocking tone.

"Ok, then let's choose a leader here right now" I said. "Who votes for Dex?" 0 hands raised. "Who votes for me?" 0 hands raised.

"What's up with you guys?" I asked.

"Joel, we all know you and Dex and neither one of you has the capability of being a leader" Alice said and was followed by a mute agreement.

"Why don't we make the decisions ourselves?" Max asked. "I vote for Nicko"

Nicko looked at him kind of confused for his answer but then seemed normal again.

"Who agrees with me?" Max asked looking at all of us as he raised himself to the ceiling with a plant under his feet.

Sometimes I want to both congratulate and punch the kid.

Everyone raised their hands except for me, Nicko, and Dex.

"Nicko, you are the leader" Max said cheerfully.

"Why me? I haven't been here for a month and I will be the leader?" Nicko asked to all of us kind of disoriented.

"We've watched you fight and defeat one of our best fighters and healed one of the most injured wizards who've been here. And you've also demonstrated your ability to lead, organize, and calm down people" Chris said.

"Also, you've befriended us pretty easy which is hard for a newbie who suddenly is taken away from his life and put into another" Claire added.

Both Chris and Claire watched each other for a moment, smiled, and looked away quickly.

Man, I wonder why those two ain't dating yet.

"But still, I'm not.."

"Nicko, just shut up" I said. "We've voted, we've decide, and you were the lucky one. You are the leader and you can't change that"

"But still, why me? You could've voted for Alice or Naomie" Nicko half-said half-asked us that.

"Because, unlike FrostWizards, we don't have a very good leadership ability" Naomie said with her shoulders raised.

"Ok. I'll be the leader" Nicko said defeated.

"So, leader, what do you think of being part of the Great Prophecy?" Dex asked praying for Nicko to say no.

"I don't know, tell me about it" Nicko said.

"As there are good wizards, there are also bad wizards who've sided with the darkness" I explained. "The Big Prophecy is about seven elemental wizards beating the crap out of the Darkness-Controlled Wizards' leader, finishing this wizard nightmare forever"

Everyone looked at Nicko while he was thinking. I hate when he doesn't show any emotion at all.

"Then, what are we waiting for?"

We all jumped probably for excitement, fear or anguish

"Do we have backpacks?" Nicko asked. "Because if we have, I want one and for all of the elemental wizards participating on this prophecy thingy, to pack it with enough supplies and enough changes of clothes for who knows what time. Oh by the way, where are we headed?"

"First, we are going to the highest mountain in the world" I said. "The freaking Mt. Everest"

-------------------------------------------

Sorry guys for taking so much time in doing this chapter and I'm also sorry for not making it long enough. But as you can see, Nicko and the others are heading to Mt. Everest! Continue reading to know what happens next.
